RESUMEN Una de las manifestaciones dermatológicas relacionadas a la infección por Mycoplasma pneumoniae es el síndrome de Stevens-Johnson (SSJ) donde predomina la mucositis sobre la afectación cutánea, por este motivo ha sido considerado como una nueva entidad separada del espectro del SSJ denominada "Exantema mucocutáneo inducido por Mycoplasma" (MIRM), por sus características clínicas y pronósticas más benignas. A pesar de ello, aún existe controversia si el MIRM es una entidad independiente del SSJ o es una forma más leve dentro del espectro de esta enfermedad. Se describe un caso clínico con el cual se discute esta nueva clasificación. PALABRAS CLAVE: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, mucositis, síndrome de Stevens-Johnson (DeCS) SUMMARY One of the dermatological manifestations related to the infection by Mycoplasma pneumoniae is Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) where mucositis predominates over skin involvement, for this reason, it has been considered as a new entity, separate from the spectrum of SJS, called "Mucocutaneous Rash induced by Mycoplasma "(MIRM), due to its more benign clinical and prognostic characteristics. Despite this, there is still controversy whether MIRM is an independent entity from SJS or is a milder form within the spectrum of this disease. A clinical case is described with which this new classification is discussed.
